As 1t Is well known, jackson SIGNED the Tarin
act OF 1882, which kept virtually intact tho
high protective duties OF 1873. linen came
Cslhoun's multiplying manifestoes, the acquisi-
Ilon OF the state doVornment OF Soutn Caro-
lima by his followers. and the passage OF an Or
dinancs BY State Convention to the eneot
that IL the Federal Government should try to
enforce the tartn OF 1882 In South Carolina
that State would secede from the Union. The
vravity OF this crisis has been too much under
rated by some historians. Mr. sohurz recog-
pics that 1t 10 matter OF conjecture what
would have happened In case OF conflict OF
nullifytng State. 1t Is csrtsin that Virginia
favored notification. although she had offered
to mediate, and 1t was spprehended BY many
that several Southern States would have been
drawn into the conflict on tho Carounian side"
It 10 Q mistake to suppose that tho
nullifers were much frightened BY jack
sons famous proclamation, and his sub
seduent message to Congress asking for power
to employ military force In collecting customs
dues Mr.. schurz points out that tho story
that jackson mad threatened to cause calhoun
TO be arrested and hung for treason as soon a.
the authority OF tho United states should DO
resisted BY force In South Carolina, and that
Cslhoun hearing this, was thrown into q
paroxysm OF fear. was mere gossip. What
really put an end to nullinoation and the threat
